I think the clarification was appropriate and polite. The VLSE isn't that slow.

Can we have a separate thread for one-on-one arguments that nobody else is interested in? Good Lord.

For real lol. Half of the thread is long winded arguments

I took the VLSE from Mill Woods to Churchill yesterday. Very pleasant ride (better than I expected) and it came in at 27 minutes on the dot.

I can't wait to see how the VLSE fares during the summer, especially during festivals such as the Taste of Edmonton and Folk Fest.

I’ve noticed the 502 as a connecting bus route with South Campus and Davies Station. I wonder if frequencies will be stepped up.

It needs to graduate from a 30' bus to a 40' bus first if demand is there.

It’s only been a month, but I think the 502 can provide connections between West Edmonton Mall and Mill Woods, and other possible combinations served with the LRT. This could serve as part of an inner ring.

We need more projects here to keep us occupied haha. Vancouver and Calgary sites are a lot more quite but have way more activity in terms of projects.
Need some more ice district level proposals to keep us from beefing haha

City Looks at Impacts of Elevating Part of Valley Line LRT | SkyriseEdmonton
A new report looks at the costs and benefits of elevating portions of the new Valley Line LRT.
With the pedestrian hit earlier this week, let's look back on what could have been (potential pier cracks notwithstanding)...
Also, remember when the City recommended an underpass for 149 St and it got rejected by the local community? It's ironic that that the exact opposite happened for Yellowhead Trail -- people were begging for one there, only to be told no by the City.
Browsing through all the proposed grade separations brought to Council makes for interesting reading. What could have been indeed....

I think LRT works well when it’s separated from busy traffic thoroughfares Streets like University Avenue or even Kingsway/111 would have benefited. At least the City was smart to have grade separations at 98 Ave, Argyll, 75 Street, 50 Street, 137 Avenue,, Gretzky Drive 118 Avenue and Belgravia. Other crossings like those around the old Northlands site have been closed.

I drove the Glenora SPR section of the alignment yesterday. There were some concerns about the curves in the roadway on here when I posted photos a short time ago.
After driving it, I found the curves and width of the road to be extremely appropriate for the area and designed speed limit. In a sedan I felt that I had plenty of space, but I didn't want to drive any faster than 35-40 due to the curves. This section of roadway gets a big thumbs up from me. I would much rather own a home on SPR than 102 ave now.

Yes. Growing up on Stony Plain Road you do get used to the drone of the traffic but when the J2 started that would sure rattle the house. And when the Rebels had a clubhouse on Stony Plain Road and 125 Street they sure would make a lot of noise. I think the new Stony Plain Road in Glenora is a huge improvement.
